Detail Academic Achievement And Social Identity Among Bilingual Students In The U.S. Bibliografi Author: Wong, Shelley ; Grant, Rachel Bahasa: (EN )     Tahun Terbit: 2010     Jenis: Article Fulltext: Academic Achievement And Social Identity Among Bilingual Students In The U.S..pdf (133.25KB; 5 download) Abstract This chapter discusses academic achievement and social identity development among bilingual students with respect to changing demographics of increased linguistic diversity and poverty for school-aged children in the United States. Institutional policies and practices are described that lead to blaming the victims of institutional inequity for low test scores and high dropout rates. Contrasting paradigms in literacy research are also discussed in relation to how perspectives of monolingual meritocracy lead to language loss and perpetuation of deficit discourses that negatively affect social identity formation for bilingual students. The authors argue that educators can play an important role in transforming inequities in the politics and practices of schooling, and they provide a model for the successful academic achievement of English language learning (ELL) and bilingual students. The model includes three essential components for literacy development and academic achievement: (a) human resources, including ELL students, their families and communities, and ESL and bilingual education professionals; (b) dialogic pedagogy; and (c) a curriculum for democratic citizenship, and economic and community development.
